The president and CEO of Democrat fundraising giant ActBlue repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination Wednesday when questioned by congressional investigators about the organization’s handling of foreign donations and fraud-prevention policies.

During a hearing before the House Committee on Administration, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones declined to answer a series of questions from Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI), including inquiries about whether previous statements she provided to Congress were accurate and whether the organization weakened anti-fraud safeguards during the 2024 election cycle.

For more than a decade, YouTuber Jesse Ridgway, better known as @McJuggerNuggets, has earned his living by displaying his life to an audience. So, when he and his wife, Ashley, learned that the son she was carrying had tested positive for Trisomy 21, better known as Down syndrome, the couple did what their careers had trained them to do.

A nation cannot simultaneously tolerate mass unlawful entry for years and then pretend it has the infrastructure to reverse it overnight. As angry protests target Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and political inaction continues in Washington, millions of people inside our borders face a compounding crisis of legal uncertainty. ICE personnel are caught in the crossfire, tasked with executing massive congressional mandates that are running into a wall of legal and logistical realities.

What advocates and politicians on both sides fail to consider is that a significant percentage of recent arrivals may have grounds to challenge the status of “illegal” because many feel that they arrived at the explicit invitation of the federal government. That invitation was implied by the Biden administration through state-sponsored mobile applications, financial assistance, free housing, interstate transit, and various other agency support services upon arrival, shifting the narrative from “illegal” to “undocumented.”

Attempting to retroactively deport millions who were essentially waved through an open door creates an unprecedented constitutional quagmire that will drag out in federal courts for a generation. The reality is that physically, logistically, and financially, we simply cannot remove millions of immigrants, nor can we realistically process them all through our heavily backlogged immigration court system.

Report of gene-edited human embryos sparks worries about the technology’s future uses– www.scientificamerican.com

A preprint describing genetically edited human embryos is raising concerns among scientists that the U.S. is becoming more accepting of using gene editing to enhance embryos.

“The cat’s out of the bag,” says Alexis Komor, deputy director of the Sanford Stem Cell Innovation Center at the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the new finding.

A team of researchers, led by senior author and Columbia University cell biology researcher Dieter Egli, used base editing—a form of gene editing that involves small cuts to a single strand of DNA—to edit two genomic sites in human zygotes, or embryos at the single-cell stage, that correspond to PCSK9, a gene that regulates cholesterol, and HBG1 and HBG2, two genes that are responsible for the fetal form of the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin. The genes were chosen because they were well-studied, not for potential therapeutic purposes, the investigators wrote in the preprint. The experiment was first reported by the New York Times.

Three Indian mariners aboard the Palau-flagged M/T Settebello were killed on Tuesday night when the United States Navy fired on the vessel for ignoring the U.S. blockade on Iran. As the Washington Examiner previously reported, the Navy fired precision strikes at the engine room of the Settebello to disable the vessel. The incident occurred as the U.S. conducted self-defense strikes against Iran for deploying a drone that took down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter on Monday.

Sarbananda Sonowal, India’s minister of ports, shipping, and waterways, announced the casualties in a social media post on X early Thursday morning.

“It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello,” said Sonowal. “Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after bodies have been located and identified.”

Senior officials in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration allegedly hired outside investigators to monitor and intimidate whistleblowers who raised concerns about widespread fraud in state social services programs, according to a congressional report released Monday.

OMDURMAN, Sudan — Four years of violent warfare between factions of the Sudanese military have spawned the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Estimates range between 12 million and 14 million people who have been forcibly displaced. Even more, approximately 20 million people face severe hunger. That’s more than a third of the entire population. And anywhere between 60,000 and 400,000 lives have been claimed since the fighting began in 2023.

The overwhelming majority of the suffering has fallen on civilians, bystanders of the power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The latter is the successor to the notorious Janjaweed Arab militia responsible for the genocide in Darfur in the early 2000s.

While women and children are the most vulnerable victims — often preyed upon for violent sexual attacks or recruited as child soldiers — Christians also are among the communities hardest hit in Sudan.

“Christians in the midst of this volatility are often last in line,” explained Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, a nonprofit that highlights Christian persecution worldwide. “If there is any type of aid to be made available, very rarely would that be provided to Christians. If there is any type of safe havens that are being granted from all the violence, Christians are often not welcome in.”

EXCERPT:

Police have arrested a Sudanese male on suspicion of attempted murder after what has been called an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast.

The PSNI were cagey in their earlier statement when they called their suspect merely a man “believed to be Somalian”. This caution seems to have been justified as they’ve now rectified that, saying in a new statement that’s just been published that they can “confirm that the man in custody is Sudanese and not Somalian, as initially believed”. The force cited a “fast-time investigation” and said further updates would follow.

There was also a minor update on the victim, with the police saying they confirmed “that the injured man remains in a serious condition in hospital”. They also noted “inaccurate online posts regarding the victim’s condition”, but without any further context.

We’ll keep the updates coming as we get them.

The man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over a brutal attack in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the United Kingdom on Monday night has been revealed to be a “believed to be Somalian” in his 30s, police said. An update from the Police Service of Northern Ireland on Tuesday morning said the man had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Kinnaird Avenue, north Belfast, around 22:30.

An injured man, unidentified other than to say he is in his 40s, was transported to hospital. He is in serious condition and police say he has received “significant injuries to his face, neck and back”.

The PSNI declared a critical incident after the attack and a spokesman said an investigation is underway to determine a motive. They said: “This brutal attack will have sent shockwaves through the community causing real concern. I want to reassure the local community that we are treating this attack with the utmost seriousness. Our investigation is continuing at pace. Community safety is our priority and we are currently engaging with local representatives and residents to provide reassurance and support.

“Our officers were on the scene within minutes and we wish to acknowledge the members of the public who strived to save the man from further attack. Their willingness to step forward to help another person shows incredible bravery and community spirit.”

Manhattan’s average one-bedroom apartment now costs more than $5,000 a month, and critics say the real culprit is not landlord greed. It is government failure.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rolled out his housing proposal, “Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era,” on May 20, promising to build 200,000 “affordable” rent-controlled homes and preserve another 200,000 existing units over the next decade.

The price tag is just as sweeping as the promise: $22 billion in taxpayer money over five years.

But critics warn the plan looks less like a solution and more like a government takeover of the housing market, with City Hall doubling down on the same policies that helped create the crisis in the first place.

There are moments in history when a nation reveals what it truly believes about human dignity.

Right now, in the United States, unborn children are legally torn apart limb by limb in the womb through procedures sanitized by clinical language and hidden behind political slogans. Tiny arms are ripped from sockets. Legs are severed. Organs are crushed. Skull fragments are extracted piece by piece. This is not a scene from a horror film. It is happening in abortion facilities across America under the protection of the law.

That is why the Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act of 2026 matters. Introduced in late April by Florida Rep. Kat Cammack and Missouri Rep. Bob Onder in the House, alongside South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds and Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the Senate, the bill would prohibit one of the most barbaric abortion procedures still practiced in modern medicine.

Republican House lawmakers have introduced legislation to stop sexual predators from obtaining children through the use of surrogacy, after a homosexual registered sex offender purchased a baby boy in Pennsylvania.

Last year, LifeSiteNews covered the case of Brandon Mitchell, a Tier 1 sex offender in Pennsylvania, convicted of “sexual abuse of children” and “possession of child pornography.” A high school chemistry teacher at the time, Mitchell was arrested in 2016 for numerous “sexually explicit solicitations and conversations” with a 16-year-old student after he was found to have sent 20 explicit photos and a sexually explicit video of himself. 

Despite this record, Mitchell and his “husband” Logan Riley shared a video of them celebrating holidays with the surrogate-born boy through the first year of his life.

Now, Rep. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) has introduced HR 9131, the Protecting Kids From Creeps Act, which punishes surrogacy agencies that fail to conduct background checks on clients; and HR 9132, the Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act, which forbids foreign nationals from using American-based surrogacy services.

“These bills put children first (which should always be the case, and some seem to be forgetting that), and help prevent predators / foreign actors from obtaining children in our Nation for personal gain, profit, or other nefarious reasons,” Perry declared.

Los Angeles’ hotel industry is losing jobs at its fastest pace in a decade outside of the pandemic, raising fresh concerns about the economic fallout from some of the most aggressive minimum wage mandates in the nation.

A new analysis of federal labor data found that Los Angeles County hotels and motels saw their workforce shrink by 1.7% in December 2025 compared to the same month a year earlier, as businesses grappled with rapidly rising labor costs imposed by city and county officials.

The decline comes as Los Angeles prepares to host a series of major international events, including the 2028 Summer Olympics, while hotel operators warn that mounting costs are threatening the industry’s ability to expand and meet future demand.

Wage Mandates Coincide with Sharp Employment Decline

According to an analysis by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI) of newly released U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the contraction represents the steepest year-over-year decline in Los Angeles County’s hotel industry in a decade, excluding pandemic-related disruptions.

The losses followed a series of government-mandated wage increases.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man charged in the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina commuter train cannot currently stand trial because of his mental illness and will undergo medical treatment to try to restore his competency, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, faces a federal charge of causing death on a mass transportation system in the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, a charge that is punishable by death. A separate state case against Brown in which he is charged with first-degree murder is on pause pending the outcome of the federal case.

At the request of Brown’s attorneys, U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell found that their client is not currently competent to stand trial and ordered him to spend up to four months in a prison medical facility to try to restore his competency.
